We present a rare case of focal F-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the liver observed during a modified dual-time-point F-18 FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), so-called early delayed scanning, in a 53-year-old woman diagnosed with breast cancer. This metastatic lesion was revealed in 80 min delayed images after FDG injection, but not in the usual one-hour images after injection. Modified dual-time-point F-18 FDG PET/CT is convenient because compared to the 2 h delayed images of dual-time-point PET/CT, it has a shorter scanning time and avoids additional radiation exposure.

A 46-year-old female with Sjögren's syndrome previously treated with corticosteroids was referred to our department for suspicious humeral head osteonecrosis. Dual-phase bone scan showed an increased radiotracer distribution in the head of the left humerus. Nevertheless, whole-body scan revealed multiple sites of heterogeneous skeletal uptake.

Background: The present study aimed to investigate whether dual-phase F-18 sodium-fluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) could improve the diagnostic accuracy of detecting bone metastasis in cancer patients with a solitary bone lesion compared to conventional F-18 NaF PET/CT.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 113 cancer patients who underwent dual-phase F-18 NaF PET/CT for the differential diagnosis of a solitary bone lesion seen on bone scintigraphy. According to the dual-phase PET/CT protocol, an early-phase scan was acquired immediately after radiotracer injection and a conventional F-18 NaF PET/CT scan was performed.
Preoperative F-18 fluorocholine PET/CT for the detection of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in patients with secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism: comparison with Tc-99m sestamibi scan and neck ultrasound.

Objectives: Currently, neck ultrasound is the preferred preoperative imaging in patients with secondary/tertiary hyperparathyroidism, and the use of Tc-99m sestamibi scan is limited in these patients. We conducted this study to compare the diagnostic utilities of F-18 fluorocholine PET/CT, Tc-99m sestamibi scintigraphy, and neck ultrasound for localizing hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in secondary/tertiary hyperparathyroidism.
Methods: We prospectively enrolled 30 dialysis patients with a diagnosis of secondary/tertiary hyperparathyroidism; of these, 27 participants underwent all three imaging modalities, including dual-phase F-18 fluorocholine PET/CT (PET acquired 5 and 60 min after tracer injection), dual-phase Tc-99 m sestamibi SPECT/CT, and neck ultrasound.

Objective: Our aim was to assess the diagnostic performance of F-18 fluorocholine (FCH) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in detecting hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue (HPT) in patients with elevated parathyroid hormone levels with negative or inconclusive conventional imaging results and to compare the findings with those obtained using technetium-99m sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy and neck ultrasonography (US).
Materials And Methods: Images of 105 patients with hyperparathyroidism who underwent FCH PET/CT, dual-phase MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy (median interval: 42 days), and neck US were retrospectively analyzed. The gold standard was histopathological findings for 81 patients who underwent parathyroidectomy and clinical follow-up findings in the remaining 24 patients.
